Thread: Things kids say

My daughter once told me that moles(ground digging animal) have tentacles on their faces, but instead of tentacles the word she used was the medical term for a man's reproductive organs. I laughed for weeks about it. Ya just never know what to expect...........

Several years ago I asked my daughter what she wanted for Christmas, and she quickly replied "I want a castrator". My son & I reflexively guarded our crotches. My wife was quick to inform us that my daughter meant "cash register". Whew!

About three years ago, my wife, Boy-Child (8 at the time), and I had finished dinner at one of our local eateries and then went over to Lowe's for some home improvement item. As we're walking through the parking lot, my wife mentions to Boy-Child that when we return home, he needs a shower as she can see he has all kinds of neck dirt. He runs off swatting at his neck and screaming, "The bees are going to get me!! The bees are going to get me!!" Well, we both give each other the WTF look and finally corral him. Come to find out, what he heard was that he had nectar (nectar, neck dirt.....) and as he explained it to us, "everyone knows bees like nectar."

My wife is Thai and so after living together for a few years in Australia we decided to move to Thailand. We moved in with her rather large family which also includes (at the time) my three year old sister in-law. At that age she, like most kids, didn't realise that there were languages other than her first language. Even though I was living in the same house as her, she must have thought that I was some sort of mentally disabled idiot and my wife was my carer, because she was the only person who could understand me.

At the time my Thai wasn't very good (still isn't). People could only understand me when they took into account that I had a strange accent. Anyway, it happened one day that I said something to Jar, my three year old sister in-law and remarkably, she had understood me. A shocked look came over her face like she had just discovered some secret knowledge and exclaimed, in Thai, "Nathan, you can speak!"

i would have to admit, i do believe one of the funniest things i have heard lately was from my 11 y/o son, my oldest daughter has on many occasions been prone to blonde moments, after one of her very amusing and confusing conversations with swmbo, my son walks up to mom and dead pans the statement, "dont mind her, she's soft in the head" and proceeds to walk off. my oldest has also left me laughing when she commented on our current commander in chief, back during the campaigns, she one day annouced, "he sounds pretty good when he's lying thru his teeth"
